Thrifty Gypsy pop-up shop comes to CARAG Oct. 15

Christina Tucker’s business started with a search for the perfect pair of Christmas stockings.

“I decided I was tired of the cheap, linty stockings that I had,” she said.

She decided to make something cute herself by upcycling cable knit sweaters. Then she opened an Etsy shop called Burrow & Bramble and started cranking out stockings and visiting thrift shops to find old sweaters. She makes ornaments from sleeves, and uses the fabric for throw pillows as well.
